We provide automated testing support for measuring the performance of Firefox products. Here are a few examples of what you can expect our team to be working on.

* Provide advice/troubleshooting related to performance testing or any of our tools and harnesses.

* Monitoring and reporting of performance regressions.

* Own all performance tests. We work on the test harnesses and tools that are used for performance testing, but the tests themselves are often developed outside of our team. Every test should have an owner, who is responsible for responding to questions related to the test, and may be asked to assist when the test detects a regression.

* Review all performance tests. Similar to test ownership, we enable others to contribute performance tests. We can provide advice and reviews, but do not impose this as a restriction to landing test changes.

* Maintain the reporting tools

Talos is a Python performance testing framework that is usable on Windows, Mac and Linux. Talos is our versatile performance testing framework we use at Mozilla. It was created to serve as a test runner for the existing performance tests that Mozilla was running back in 2007 as well as providing an extensible framework for new tests as they were created.
